$55 Mini DIY Walk In Greenhouse From Amazon Review After 3 Months, is it worth the money?

I have had one of these on my deck. I love it. I just have another tip, if you can’t find a big log to weight things down, try using gallon milk containers,. Makes watering easier to.

I got something similar to this at a Job Lot for $75. Worth every penny. We keep a bucket of water in it for humidity, and I put a thermometer in it. Even on days here in New England where it’s about 55 degrees, the inside of the greenhouse can be around 75 degrees. Our seedlings are loving it.

I bought one a couple years ago and my tip would be to glue all the pieces together with heavy duty glue . The cover did not last very long for me because the California sun just weakened the plastic cover. So I would recommend using thick poly plastic that was UV treated just to cover the top part. I found a big ole roll for like $10 at Lowe’s. I made a cheap bottom frame with 2X4’s and zip tied it down to wood frame to keep it from getting blown away. This is going on my third growing season with this green house. I think it’s paid for itself now with all the 🌱 I used this greenhouse for. It has saved me 💰 by not having to buy seedlings.

☑️ beginner gardener ☑️ not a lot of space ☑️ on a budget That’s me! 😃 Thank you for this review!

I have had mine for over 5 years and it is still functioning as the day I got it.

Got mine from Aldi's for only $39.00 and came with tent type of stakes to anchor the green outer plastic shell down. We did weigh down the inside with bags of soil, fertilizer and the like. We also took it down after the season , so as to be able to use it for many more years. We've used ours for two seasons already and it still looks like brand new. We were very happy with our purchase.

I just made a green house . I never would of thought gardening was so fun .

After using this greenhouse for several years, this year I got a 7' x 12' hoop house on ebay for $100. It out performs any greenhouse I have ever had. It had the clear cover that you are talking about, but it has a much thicker weave in it and the clear poly is much thicker too. With your backyard being the size it is, you could easily put one of these on your property and grow an entire garden in it year round. This is better than my super heavy duty corrugated fiberglass greenhouse or any of the small greenhouses I've ever had. I only had one heater in it all winter and no landscape fabric under it, only grass. That helped the hoop house to generate more heat and massive humidity. I had orchids in there and it worked perfectly. All of my tropical plants loved it this winter. Just thought I would pass this on.

I purchased this product. After a winter and spring in the Texas sun, the plastic connectors all cracked. The zipper tore. It was a great starter greenhouse and I learned alot. I am going to use the frame as a guide and duplicate it and use PVC piping instead.

I’ve had my mini greenhouse for a year now. I keep it outside all year and during the summer under shade. It helps to keep my seedlings grow faster and protect my plants from the wind. Also I keep all my garden supplies in there which helps to keep dust away from all the products i have. I think it’s worth the $55. Let lone I spend $55 on 1 meal for 2! So it’s very worth it.

I love green houses. I bought my first 5 or 6 years ago. It is finally done. Don't underestimate wind damage. I had a couple hundred pounds holding mine down. One rouge wind blew it up over the house. And it was against the house for wind protection with tie downs. Needless to say my tomato plant labels were a little off that year.

You should stack sandbags around the greenhouse it keeps in the warm and it stops the greenhouse from falling over

Never gardened in my life. That is definitely a green colored house. Idk why this was recommended to me. That being said, this was an awesome video. Glad I watched it

I has the exact greenhouse. I recommend getting a bag of sheet metal screws and drill and screw all the tubing pieces to the connectors. That’ll make it super sturdy

Every November (we live in Texas, not far from Dallas), I pull one just like this out, and my husband and I assemble it in a protected corner beneath a south-facing covered patio. We cross-tie the frame inside, tie on the cover, then place flat cement pavers inside, atop the tubes of the frame, to weight it down. (Since we can set plants atop them, they're the best option.) We throw a raggedy old thick comforter over the top, secured with heavy clips, to protect it in the ice/snow part of the year. My patio plants live out the winter inside, with lights inside, enough to keep them warm enough and alive over the winter. (It's just turned March, and I have phalaenopsis orchids flowering inside!) Of course, I don't water too much over the winter, but I'll often turn off the lights, mist the inside really well, turn 'em back on, then close it up again. Up under the porch, the sun doesn't destroy the plastic and the wind can't tear it to pieces. With this setup, all of the plants that were against the house wall survived the 2021 deep-south freeze that went on and on, even when we had no power to keep the lights inside on and the temperature up. In Spring, we remove the plants, stack the cement pavers behind the shed, undo the inside cross-ties, disassemble and set everything out to dry. Once everything is good and dry, we put all of the plastic connectors into a labeled box, fold the cover and roll the metal tubes up inside it, bungee cords all around it, and in the shed it all goes. The assembly instructions are kept in a plastic sleeve, in a file-cabinet folder that contains all of our small appliance manuals. My previous small green house lasted for several years, and the one I have now is getting older, and some of the metal parts are rusting out. I'll continue buying them, since our set-up allows them to last and work well for us.

I got the same greenhouse. The next year my husband removed the plastic cover and replaced it will plastic sheeting, like you use on the roof of a deck. The wavy kind. He also put in a temperature controlled lift section of roof to let excess heat out. I love it!

Recently bought one of these, well the smaller versions that's just a stack of shelves to keep my bonsai in for winter, great purchase.

I bought my second one last year. I've left mine up year round. Through hot heat and snow it was still fine. My second was bigger than my first. I layed pallets and plie wood down an painted it. Then secured the green house frame to the wood. No fly aways

I have a small 4’x6’ popup greenhouse that I use for the stray cats. I live in center city Philadelphia, there are 4 cats about 8-10yrs old I took over care for. I put one of theee up for the cats with heated kitty condos, space heater, security camera, raised outdoor tiles, and lighting for the winter. We didn’t get a ton of snow, a lot of ice and a couple heavy snowfalls. In and out every day 3x a day to feed them and it’s so sturdy it is good as new and it’s been up since September 2023. No leaks either. It’s well worth the $79 and the frame collapses in 10a few min to move it out of the way (minus staples) the popup frame is a lot more sturdy than that frame. I started elephant ears in there too, it’s heated so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Hope that helps it’s a great buy.

My daughter got one for me on my birthday in March. I love it! So far it’s working well. Thanks for the tips on securing the shelves and landscape fabric.
